The Former Plateau State governor, Joshua Dariye, has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for corruption.

Justice Adebukola Banjoko of the Federal Capital Territory High Court today found him guilty of diverting N1.162 billion state ecological funds while he was governor between 1999 and 2007.

He was first arraigned on a 23-count charge for the offence in 2007.

The presiding judge sentenced him to two years in prison for criminal breach of trust and 14 years for criminal misappropriation of funds.

The sentences are to run concurrently. The court gave no option of fine. Mr Dariye is currently the senator representing Plateau West.

Dariye defected from PDP to APC in September 2016.

he should stop shading crocodile tears jor.

Hausa-Fulani Northerners sending Northern Christians former governors to prison...yesterday was Jolly Nyame of Taraba and now Dariye of Plateau? And also they closing in former Plateau and Benue states governors Jang and Akume who are also Northern Christians? While no single Northern Muslim governors has ever been sentenced for such long sentence despite stealing more? Whom are we deceiving? They carefully used a yoruba judge to do this...handed her a script to follow. Some useless Southerners pretty sure Afonjas are rejoicing? Can't you see wants happening?
